Lapid to Netanyahu: Israel’s greatest inciter, hatemonger shouldn’t reproach us

Opposition leader Yair Lapid, head of Yesh Atid-Telem, lashes the prime minister after Benjamin Netanyahu suggested earlier that he is leading public demonstrations against him.

“Netanyahu has again accused me of encouraging protesters. That’s not an accusation, it’s a compliment. Yes, I support them. Besides, Israel’s greatest inciter and hatemonger shouldn’t reproach us.”
